Army Form C.2118 |
| Unit: 2nd Bn. The Royal Ulster Rifles | ||
| Month and Year: August 1944 | (Erase heading not required). | Commanding Officer: Lt. Col. I.C. Harris |
| Place | Date | Hour | Summary | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | The Battalion left LA BANQUAIRE at 0615 hrs in fine weather and moved some two miles to MONTESANGER arriving at 0800 hrs. This move was designed to achieve closer concentration within the Brigade and to permit the Battalion to be in a better position for a move forward. It served also to provide a firm base for an abortive attack by 2 Lincs on strongly defended positions to our front. In this role the Battalion was shelled intermittently and suffered a few casualties. |
